A journey towards establishing a private limited company is an exciting venture, filled with opportunities and challenges. Private limited company setup services are designed to facilitate this journey, providing a comprehensive solution to the complexities of company formation.
As per Section 2 (68) of the Companies Act, 2013, a private company is a unique business entity, distinguished by specific characteristics:
A. It limits the right to transfer its shares.
B. The number of shareholders is capped at 200, excluding certain individuals such as those employed by the company.
C. It does not allow public subscription for any securities of the company.
A private limited company is a separate legal entity from its promoter, offering a layer of protection to its shareholders. The financial liability of shareholders is limited to the value of their shares, safeguarding their personal assets from any financial turbulence the company might face.
Private limited company setup services provide end-to-end assistance, from choosing a unique company name to ensuring compliance with the Companies Act 2013. They also aid in the preparation and submission of necessary documents, making the process more efficient.
Interestingly, private limited companies are a popular choice among Indian businesses. A staggering 93% of all business incorporations in the country are private limited companies. This preference is attributed to their ease of formation and dissolution, and relatively lower compliance requirements compared to public limited or listed companies.
In conclusion, private limited company setup services are a valuable resource for entrepreneurs aspiring to establish a private limited company. They simplify the process, ensure legal compliance, and enable business owners to focus on their core competencies - running their business.

➲ Distinct Identity
An entity means something that has a true existence; an object with a distinct existence. A company is a legal entity and a legal entity established under the Law. Hence a company is a form of the organization having broad legal potential and that may own property and also incur debts in its own name. The members of the company have no liability towards company debts because the company and members both are separate people in the eye of the law, hence company is an artificial person having a separate legal identity.
➲ Liability is Limited
Limited Liability means the status of being legally responsible for a company's debts only to a limited sum. Like proprietorships and partnerships, the Member's responsibility for the company's debts is limited in a limited liability company. In other words, the responsibility of a company's members is limited only to the sum of the face value of the shares they take over.
➲ Acquiring property
A company may buy, possess, enjoy and alienate property under its own name, becoming a legal individual. No shareholder can claim the company's property as long as the company is a company. The shareholders are not the actual owners of the company. The company itself is the real proprietor.
➲ Capacity to sue and be sued in its own name
To sue means initiating legal action against or putting a suit before a court of law. Just like one person in the name of another person can bring legal action against another in his / her own name, a company being an independent legal entity can sue and be sued in his / her own name too.

A private limited company can raise funds from its member after issuing shares to them or issuing debt securities to them. And the private limited company has the opportunity to convert itself into public limited after which it can raise money from the general public at large after listing its shares in the stock exchange and taking IPO in the market.
